Woodturning a little ASH Box

Many of the woods I use are from trees that are cleared for construction. This is wood that would otherwise be burned or end up in a landfill.
To me, it is exciting to find the hidden beauty in a chunk of wood. Even a very plain piece of wood offers design opportunities. When working with plain wood, I often enhance the wood by carving or burning. My carved and burned designs mimic textures and patterns found in nature.

Great work Heather. The box is lovely. I really like the CA/abrasive paste/wax finish. Looks beautiful.

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Doug! But I only used the abrasive, I didn't think I needed the wax on top of it.

You do it every single time, I think you are going for one shape and you go for a completely different shape ... another beautiful little box, the grain is fantastic ... the CA finish works really well.

Good eye Heather ... you saw the hidden beauty in that chunk of wood and made such a lovely pot. Thanks for sharing. Take care. -Mike p.s. don't the CA fumes get to you ? Looks good though !

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Mike! I wear an N95 mask when using CA, and it blocks all the fumes. I also keep my distance, just in case
